One of the surest signs that a Connecticut homeowner might need a new roof is when he or she notices that there puddles of water or even just traces of moisture in the attic. This is especially true in the aftermath of a blizzard or a rain storm. Puddles and dampness on the attic beams also means that in all likelihood there is a problem with the roof.
One of the problems could be that the shingles are buckling, curling or blistering. These types of problems with shingles could be caused by improper installation, old shingles that cannot withstand the wrath of Mother Nature or simply shingles that are not of high quality. A homeowner, using a ladder and pair of binoculars can do a visual inspection to see if these types of problematic shingles are on his roof.
Another issue that causes shingles and other types of roofing on a Connecticut home to disintegrate and cause leaks is algae growth underneath or around a patch of shingles. Algae, combined with moisture can cause certain types of shingles to rot and deteriorate. Damaged flashing is caused by improper installation on a new roof, drying and cracking on an old roof, being dented by improper nailing and or a settling of the structure. If there is damage to the flashing around a chimney then water, moisture and rot will be seen in the attic and the shingles and around the flashing.
Missing granules are also a sign that the roof needs to be replaced; this can be caused by aging shingles. Despite the numerous advances that have been made in terms of roofing products, shingles are still items that are susceptible to rot, deterioration and human error.
Once a Connecticut homeowner decides that they need a new roof, there is a federal tax credit that homeowners can claim on their taxes by replacing their old roof with a new Energy Star roof. The Federal Roofing Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency is dependent on the cost of the materials used in the renovation. An investment in a well-built roof is a smart decision.
